Well anyway we got it loaded on my trailer being pulled by my 96 suburban with a bunch of miles. We got back to wifes home had thankgiving the next day then took of toward home about 5 hrs east. Well an hour down the road the tranny started acting up and we pulled into a Walmart parking lot. What are we gonna do asked my wife as we walked inside? I said we will live in housewares and vacation in sporting goods. All of that talking while in my head trying my best Macgever inpersonasion. We bought a new battery a few vice grips a roll of black tape and a few hand tools. I put the battery in and tapedd the ends to the vice grips wrapped them in electrical tape to keep from shorting out. next I pullled the outside bumper brakets off and took a come along and pulled the bumper off the tires where it had folded up then I trade places on the trailor putting the wreck in front and the lame on top. Now the truck was rolled so hard I had to crawl in from the pass side and look out the sunroof hole the doors that were open was held shut with a strap and on I 40 we went cars passing us laughing so hard state troopers laughing too but never pulled us overwe got home about six hours later wore out
That is priceless!
